About Us
Welcome to Hakim Optical.
Hakim Optical began more than 45 years ago with
Mr. Hakim grinding lenses for the Canadian wholesale market. His craft was learned, as a youth,
in his native Iran and honed, in subsequent years, grinding lenses in Germany and then camera
lenses in Switzerland.
Attracted by the excitement of retail opportunities, Mr. Hakim began to pass the
great deals he gave to wholesalers on to the public.
Today Hakim Optical serves the public with
165 outlets (including
139 one hour factory
outlets) in Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Manitoba.
We process Blue Cross, Liberty Health, Greenshield, Metropolitan Life and Ford Excelsior. We accept* Ministry of Community and Social Services, Welfare Canada and Certificate of Indian Status (in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Maritime Medical and Social Services only).
